Chapter 1: Crossing, Hangu Pass
Chapter 1: Traveling through Hangu Pass
Hangu Pass is located on the main roads of the two capitals and is the throat of entering and leaving Guanzhong.
When the soldiers guarding the pass slowly opened the heavy door when it was dawn.
At this time, there were already a long queue outside the closing gate, and most of these people were merchants and accompanying servants.
They need to go through Hangu Pass, pass the ancient road, go to Chang'an, or sell their goods in Luoyang, or enter some goods in Chang'an and then go out for customs sale.
With the sound of "creaking" opening of the door, the sun in the sky seemed to wake up from its deep sleep and opened a gap in its eyes.
A ray of purple sunlight hit the majestic and vicissitudes of the city wall of Hangu Pass that has experienced thousands of years of wind and frost.
At the same time, it also reflects the young and cold faces of the soldiers guarding the pass, and the people anxiously waiting to enter the pass under the pass.
The door was completely opened, and the soldiers stood on both sides, which was different from usual.
The merchants lined up did not flock in, but looked at the sky with incredible expressions, to be precise, the purple sunshine I had seen.
The purple sunlight shone straight on Hangu Pass, and people on the ground stared blankly, and there was silence.
I don’t know how long it took, an old voice in the crowd broke the tranquility of the world, and shouted tremblingly: “Old immortal! The old immortal is back! The old immortal is back!”
The old man knelt down to the sky and kept shouting, "The old god is back."
When everyone looked at the old man in confusion, another person knelt down on the ground, and shouted: "Welcome to the old god and the saint to come home."
With the saying "Welcome the saints home", more and more people kneel on the ground.
In ancient times, only the few who could be called saints, and the only one who could be associated with the situation at this time of Hangu Pass was the only one who could be the founder of Taoism, "Laozi".
It is said that when Lao Tzu went out of Hangu Pass, purple qi came from the sky a thousand years ago, which is also the origin of the idiom "Purple qi comes from the east".
Lao Tzu wrote a five thousand words of Tao Te Ching at Hangu Pass and came out of Hangu, and there was no news since then. Today, the purple air reappeared, and it was not surprising that people thought he would return here again.
After a long time, amid the prayers of the crowd, the sun gradually turned golden and eventually became normal. The legendary old god and Taoist ancestor never appeared.
People can only blame their hearts for not being sincere enough, failing to impress the old gods, or they have no blessings to meet each other. People get up and gradually dissipate, running around for their three meals a day.
But I don’t know when there was a strange boy behind the crowd, saying that he was strange because he was incompatible with the people around him, as if he was invisibly separated from endless time and space.
The boy was wearing a casual outfit that was obviously a few sizes bigger than him. Because the clothes were too big, it was like wearing a skirt. The pants were too long and the grown part was tied up high by the boy, and the sneakers on his feet were worn on the boy's feet like a boat.
The boy was holding a big green cow in his right hand.
*******
As the saying goes, traveling through time every year, I come to my house this year.
Yi Fan looked at the Hangu Pass, which had been magnificent after thousands of years of wind and frost. He knew that he was still on the earth and had not traveled to other worlds. He looked at the soldiers standing guard at the gate, which should have been in ancient times. It is unknown which dynasty it was.
The reason why Yi Fan was very sure that he had traveled through time was because he was still raising cows on the mountain in the countryside the moment ago. Because the morning fog was thick, he arrived here as he walked.
Inexplicably, my body became smaller several times, causing my clothes, pants, shoes to grow bigger, and even my hair to grow longer.
I looked at the screen of my mobile phone through the sunshine. My beard that I had not shaved for several days disappeared, and I returned to my thirteen or fourteen years old.
In addition, there is no modern atmosphere around you, if you can't confirm that you have traveled through time, then the time travel novels over the years have been seen in the dog's belly.
Touching the neck of the big green bull, I couldn't help but think whether he was a bull at the beginning or not, and that equipment was all about picking up.
While Yi Fan was still imagining, a voice came into his ears: "Do you want to go to Chang'an?"
Yi Fan came back to his senses and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw a middle-aged man wearing a coarse cloth holding a cart with both hands, and a cloth strap was slung across the man's shoulder. Both ends of the cloth strap were tied to the handle of the cart, similar to a rickshaw pulling a rickshaw, the difference was that he was pulling a flatbed.
As a modern person, living in an era where the most basic trust between people has lost. When a stranger talks to you for no reason, he will involuntarily be alert.
Seeing Yi Fan's alert expression, the man hurriedly said, "Don't panic, I see you have no companions, I just want to go to Chang'an to buy some goods. If you come to Chang'an, you might as well go with me, so you can take care of me. Someone will talk on the road, and your big green cow can help me pull the cart."
The man wanted to take the excuse of being on the same journey and ask Yi Fan's Daqingniu to help him pull the cart so that he could save some effort and to arrive in Chang'an earlier.
"Chang'an?" When the man mentioned Chang'an, Yi Fan silently thought and said: "This should be the Han Dynasty or the Tang Dynasty."
Because among the few historical knowledge that Yi Fan knew, only these two dynasties established their capital in Chang'an, he didn't know the rest.
"Since I didn't go to Chang'an to see what it was, I happened to ask this person about which era it was, but I must not be a chaotic era." Yi Fan had decided to go with the man.
Yi Fan was a little envious of the pig's feet in the novel, because as long as the soul is worn, he always had an identity when he was worn. He was not as good as his body, but he was still a black householder in ancient times.
Although I don’t know what the result would be if I was caught in an ancient black household, Yi Fan knew that if you don’t have an ID card in modern times, it would be difficult to go wherever you want to go.
The man put the cloth belt on his shoulder around the neck of the big green bull, and the two got on the cart. The man shouted, and the cart entered Hangu Pass and slowly drove towards Chang'an.
On the cart.
"Is Xiao Langjun from Chang'an?" Although he was asking, the man said in a positive tone.
"Why does Uncle Shen think I am from Chang'an?" Yi Fan did not admit it or deny it, but asked in a puzzled tone.
In the previous conversation, the man said that his surname was "Shen", and the eldest in the family was named Shen Da, so Yi Fan called him Uncle Shen.
"Haha..." Shen Daluo said with smugness: "Although I am not very knowledgeable, I have lived for dozens of years. The authentic Guanzhong dialect and clothes that seem valuable at first glance must be worn by only the dignitaries in Chang'an City.
But I’m afraid this outfit is not owned by Xiaolangjun?”
After saying that, he looked straight at Yi Fan, which made Yi Fan feel a little furious, and subconsciously looked at the generous clothes he was wearing.
I couldn't help but smile bitterly. Time travel made my body smaller, but my clothes did not change. If I insisted on saying that the clothes were my own, I wouldn't even believe me.
So now the question is, since the clothes are not owned, where did they come from? They stole them? They robbed them? Or were they given by others?
These extremely ordinary clothes in modern times are definitely top-notch goods in ancient times. Will Shen Da want to find money?
If a set of clothes is not enough to allow Shen Da to take the risk of robbing Yi Fan, what about a strong big green bull?
Not to mention in ancient times, even in modern times, such a cow is valuable to ordinary people in the countryside.
Yi Fan had cold sweats on his palms and back. He was still a minor in his body, so he could be said to be unable to tie his hands.
He was not afraid of Shen Da robbing him. At worst, he could give him all his clothes and the big green bull, but he was afraid that he would kill and rob. Fortunately, he was from Guanzhong, and his words made the other party dare not do anything easily.
